New guy from USA
« on: January 13, 2013, 10:59:28 pm »
Hello,

Just joined and wanted to say Hello to all. I am an older Expert rider from the East Coast of the USA. I specilize in hard to find, aftermarket period correct restorations and parts and components such as Moto-X Fox, DG, WEBCO, LOP etc. I presently have more stuff than space and will be offering some of it up for sale. The Vintage racing  in other countries is huge compared to what we have here in the US, on my side of the country anyway. Thanks to for the great site and I look forward to being an active and contributing member...

Welcome aboard mate. Whereabouts on the East Coast do you come from? I have a good friend, Michael McCook who lives in New Hope, Pennsylvania. We've got quite a few of your fellow countrymen on this forum. I'm into aftermarket period correct resto's myself but mine are a generation earlier, Cheney, Metisse, Hindall, Trackmaster, Champion.....you get the picture. I look forward to seeing what you have coming up for sale. My buddy and I are currently (slowly, in between our individual projects) building a circa 1976 Trackmaster motocross framed Yamaha YZ 125X Evo/pre 78 bike (depending on how much suspension travel we put in it). We're always looking for trick bits for it....we recently picked up a Noguchi cylinder and need a head to suit.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I am in Northeastern Penna.  Cold, Snow  , Ice....Perfect time to be in the shop building the next few machines to put out for bid. I will be placing a few items in the for sale sections in the next couple of days. These items will be just a small of the type of parts I carry...

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
